Research Ethics Advisors (REA)

In 2007, the University of Newcastle implemented new processes for human research requiring ethics approval. NUHREP is the development and implementation of the processes, adapted from those in place at Griffith University.

A key component of NUHREP is the introduction of Research Ethics Advisors (REAs) at the School/Faculty level to provide local support to researchers, both staff and students, to design ethically acceptable human research and assist them through the ethics approval process. REAs will also conduct educational seminars in their Faculties on human research ethics at least annually.

REAs are the first 'port-of-call' for researchers requiring assistance or advice on human research ethics matters.
